In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

【Time until the Fortress Defense War: 16 hours.】

Below the sand dunes, Zheng Shiduo was hopping around miserably, working hard to complete the tasks of Ling Tong and Wang Jixuan: surveying the terrain and burying probes.

Zheng Shiduo wore a collar around his neck.

It was a self-destruct collar, which did not affect Zheng Shiduo's ability to turn his head and observe, and also had a certain protective effect. However, if someone pressed the remote control, Zheng Shiduo's head would explode with a 'boom'.

"Here, this is for you."

Ling Tong handed a blue remote control to Wang Jixuan and said softly:

"I've checked it. The energy loaded in the self-destruct collar on Zheng Shiduo's neck is enough to kill him ten times over."

"He was sent by the Commander-in-Chief."

"This remote control device is mainly to put you at ease. Zhou Zhengde made him wear it. With this, you control his life and death."

Wang Jixuan was a little puzzled: "Why should I control his life and death?"

"He was sent to protect you," Ling Tong shrugged, "This guy's strength is not bad."

Wang Daoshi's expression suddenly became somewhat...

A psionic, here to protect him?

And it's even a psionic who once tried to interfere with Ling Tong's mission?

He really didn't understand these people's thought processes.

Ling Tong put the remote control into his hand, turned around, and leaned against the four-wheeled motorcycle with him, watching the drones flying past in the low sky in the distance.

Wang Jixuan asked: "Will the upcoming battle be very dangerous?"

"This can be said to be a reflection of how much they value you," Ling Tong smiled, "Psionics are like this. They will listen to whoever holds their lives in their hands. Zheng Shiduo's life is now controlled by the headquarters, and Psionic City has also handed over control of this batch of psionics."

"I still don't trust him."

"Just keep an eye on him. He knows your secret identity."

Ling Tong said it very easily:

"Zheng Shiduo can be considered my comrade-in-arms, but sometimes his position is inconsistent with mine."

"Alright," Wang Jixuan shrugged, "Later, I will directly put on my helmet and operate under the identity of Black Storm. Tell him not to appear with Wang Zheng."

"Tell him that yourself. I hate the smell on him."

"What smell?"

"The smell of a pervert."

Wang Jixuan remembered the crystal plug and couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead, not knowing how to evaluate it for a moment.

He urgently needed an idiom more serious than 'the collapse of ritual and music'.

......

【Time until the Fortress Defense War: 14 hours.】

The evolution of the situation completely followed Ling Tong's predictions.

Just as Wang Jixuan and the others finished surveying the terrain, news came from the northwest that a Blade Beast swarm had broken through the defense line.

A Blade Beast swarm broke through the defense line, numbering about three hundred thousand.

The human defense line was very complex, not just on land, sea, and air, but also with underground defense facilities.

After crossing the defense line, this Blade Beast swarm split into three groups: one group immediately attacked the nearest fortress, one group charged straight ahead to impact the nearby human defense line in an attempt to tear open a larger gap.

And one group entered the underground, advancing towards Fortress 76 along underground passages they had opened up at some unknown time.

About seventy thousand Blade Beasts would arrive near Fortress 76 in a dozen hours. Along the way, a certain number of them would be consumed by the underground minefields. According to energy reaction analysis, there were two General-level Blade Beasts inside.

The Joint Defense Force was working hard to cut off the retreat of this group of Blade Beasts, engaging in a high-intensity battle with the Blade Beasts near the gap in the defense line.

Weapons and various supplies produced by the fortresses were continuously transported to the Central Ancient Basin war zone defense line, frantically pouring down on the Blade Beast swarm.

The several outer expansion zones of the fortresses had been cleared, and the reserve forces inside the fortresses were ready. Dozens of small fortresses had been built on the surface, and underground was a ring of fortress perimeter minefields several kilometers thick.

The abilities of burrowing Blade Beasts also had limits. They could only move quickly in the stratum up to two hundred meters deep. Underground movement was to avoid the indiscriminate bombing of human long-range firepower.

This was a contest between old opponents.

The military judged that the Blade Beasts' target was 【Combat Princess Ling Tong】.

Ling Tong had moved into the desert outside Outer Expansion Zone C, where a bait camp was being built. Inside, in addition to Ling Tong and an elite combat team, there was also a group of autonomous guard soldiers disguised as humans, and dozens of psionics.

As Ling Tong's support team, Uncle Tai, Sister Wan, Wan Xiaoqi, and Wang Jixuan had to stay at the supply station in Outer Expansion Zone C, ready to dispatch supplies at any time.

The main force for transporting supplies, in addition to two large mechanical dogs, was also three heavy drones.

Outer Expansion Zone C had become an important firepower camp deployed by the military, and it would inevitably be attacked by Blade Beasts later.

This would also become the front line.

......

【Time until the Fortress Defense War: 9 hours.】

Inside the supply station, Uncle Tai stood with his arms crossed in front of the huge projection screen, which showed the 'bait camp' in the center.

In the center of the screen, Ling Tong was undergoing an inspection by Sister Wan's mechanical arm.

"Look at these sand dunes."

Uncle Tai smiled and said:

"The Blade Beasts should wait until night to launch their attack. They have no eyes, so day and night are the same to them."

"This side will be the main battlefield. We must kill as many Blade Beasts as possible. Outer Expansion Zone C will be the main force to respond to this bait."

"Every large-scale attack by the Blade Beasts has a clear operational objective. They will calculate how much firepower we have, how much firepower we have hidden. As far as the Blade Beasts are concerned, as long as they can achieve their purpose, it doesn't matter how many basic Blade Beasts die."

"This is the worker ant nature of the basic Blade Beasts."

Wan Xiaoqi brought two cups of industrial coffee.

Wang Jixuan thanked him and asked softly: "What else should I pay attention to?"

"We probably won't have to deliver supplies later. The military has a dedicated supply brigade and firepower cover brigade."

Uncle Tai pretended to be excited and shouted:

"Later, you can also see Ling Tong piloting a mecha! Although it's just a firepower mecha a dozen meters high, that's where the value of a Combat Princess lies!"

Wan Xiaoqi said gloomily: "Dad, Little Wang is asking about precautions!"

"Okay, okay, the precautions are... complete the mission and survive."

Uncle Tai breathed a sigh of relief:

"The war with the Blade Beasts is extremely cruel."

"We belong to the rear support personnel. Before the fortress is breached, there will basically be no problems. The firepower density here is also much stronger than that of the fortress."

"The only thing to guard against is the Mimic Blade Beasts. These guys will disguise themselves as humans and cause damage from within."

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He asked: "How long until the attack starts?"

"More than nine hours. According to the speed of that Blade Beast swarm, the attack should start between three and five in the morning. It cannot be ruled out that small groups of Blade Beasts wandering in the stratum will suddenly appear in front of us."

"Uncle Tai, do you still have work to do now?"

"No, I'm going to get a good night's sleep and recharge my batteries!"

"Then come help me."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a few seconds:

"I want to add a little bit of technology to my weapon."

"No problem," Uncle Tai's eyes lit up, "Please let me participate more in the research and development work of the 【Ling Tong 071 Project】! Giving me a fourth or fifth author credit on a paper is enough!"

Wang Daoshi smiled, narrowing his eyes.

Although he didn't understand what it meant, smiling was the right thing to do.

Because time was tight, Wang Jixuan could only make a simple modification to his spear, adding a set of laser shooting devices to the end of the spear, with an external charging backpack. He could turn the spear upside down and use it as a miniature laser cannon.

The disadvantage was that the heat dissipation wasn't very good.

Ambushing Blade Beasts and psionics was more than enough.

There was still a lot of preparation work to be done next: making talismans and making some more perfect bone-piercing nails.

Wang Jixuan could already feel the tension permeating the air.

The soldiers were resting briefly at their respective combat positions, and vehicles and drones were shuttling along the supply lines. All kinds of cannons, rockets, and air-dropped bombs that Wang Jixuan had seen in the mechanic's textbooks were everywhere.

Almost overnight, the entire Outer Expansion Zone C had more than a dozen high-rate electromagnetic cannons. The nuclear energy supply station underground in Outer Expansion Zone C could only meet the energy supply of seven electromagnetic cannons.

According to Uncle Tai, if there was not enough energy after the war started, they would have various ways to activate thermal power generation, fuel power generation, and so on.

Everyone was worried that the preparations they had made were not sufficient.

The newest and most complete novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba.

Wang Jixuan seized the time to improve himself.

He left three crystal cores, releasing all the spiritual energy from the two crystal cores plus the previous remaining crystal cores, and his own cultivation took a firm small step forward.

The improvement of cultivation also lies in the strengthening of the Dao body and Divine Soul, which will take some time.

......

【Time until the Fortress Defense War: 1 hour 28 minutes.】

'It should be able to hold,'

Wang Jixuan thought, slowly wiping the segmented spear in his hand, wrapping them in cloth, and placing them aside.

Uncle Tai's shouting came from outside the door:

"Damn! Where did the second Blade Beast swarm come from! The number of Blade Beasts moving underground has suddenly increased. It is now estimated that 110,000 Blade Beasts and four Generals are rushing towards Fortress 76! Seriously, is it necessary for the Blade Beasts to be so crazy to deal with one Ling Tong? Or does Ling Tong have potential that we haven't seen?"

"Four Generals?"

"Ah! Four Generals!"

"Where are our reinforcements?"

"The number of reinforcements is unknown. Our permissions are not enough to see only the enemy's information. What I know is that two Combat Princesses (Bases) are coming, as well as mecha units and air support units. This time, no Blade Beast air units were detected. The air advantage is on our side!"

"It's hard to say... It feels like the Blade Beasts are going crazy."

Sister Wan, who had returned to the supply station, frowned:

“If we completely wipe out this wave of Blade Beasts, the defense line of the defense force can be pushed outwards by a considerable distance. Why are they doing this?”

Uncle Tai pondered for a moment: “Could it be that the King-level Blade Beast commanding these Blade Beasts was beaten up by Ling Tong before? Is it here for revenge?”

Wang Jixuan blinked.

To be fair, he had previously given that vertical pupil a Great Evolution Heart Sword. That thing… he relied on demonic power to activate it at the time, consuming the power of collected souls. The soul of that Blade Beast must have been severely damaged.

So the Blade Beast went crazy?

Can't be.

Daoist Wang stroked his chin and decisively chose to believe 'it wasn't this poor Daoist's doing.' He got up, walked to the wardrobe in the corner, and slowly opened the cabinet door.

Black helmet, black combat uniform, and two buckets of un-deactivated, emerald green Blade Beast blood.

While there are still a few hours left, I'll make more talismans!

Wang Jixuan had previously tried it. Using this Blade Beast blood, which is full of spiritual energy, to soak paper and extract spiritual liquid can create talismans with effects and power exceeding the previous ones by forty to fifty percent.

Moreover, he also obtained a thick stack of ancient pulp paper from Ling Tong, which contains the spiritual energy of plants and trees.

Buzz, buzz!

The text exchange device vibrated slightly. Wang Jixuan opened his right hand, and a wisp of aura wrapped the small square box, flying directly into his hand.

It was a message from Ling Tong.

By the way, at Ling Tong's suggestion, he and Zhou Zhengde had both changed their nicknames. This text exchange device was a channel that all three could see.

【Ling Tong (Long-legged Officer): The second wave of Blade Beasts has appeared. Five General-level Blade Beasts have been discovered. Subsequent battles may be very fierce. It is recommended that Wang Zheng transfer to the fortress.】

【Zhou Zhengde (Young Master Zhou): Quick! Transfer!】

【Wang Zheng (Upright Person): No need for now. I can serve as a combat force to support Ling Tong.】

Suddenly.

Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense twitched, and his spiritual consciousness automatically expanded towards the southwest of the camp.

About two hundred meters away from him.

In a brightly lit alley, there was a female soldier walking with her head down, without any weapons on her body, but holding an entrenching tool.

“You! Stop!”

A patrol of three soldiers, stepping on powered armor, slowly approached, staring at the female soldier's back, while raising their pistols.

“Raise your hands! Put them on your head and squat down!”

The female soldier slightly turned her head, and a strange sneer suddenly appeared on her ordinary-looking face.

She suddenly turned around, and her body seemed to be torn apart, but what was torn apart was only a layer of light film on the outside. A Blade Beast with a body less than two meters unfolded suddenly burst out from within!

Its slender, mantis-like body swayed from side to side.

The three soldiers were about to shoot immediately, but before they could pull the trigger, a thin blade of light flying from the front had already severed the soldiers' necks!

Mimic Blade Beast!

Wang Jixuan grabbed his helmet and was about to put it on, but before he could make the next move, his figure immediately stopped.

Qi.

Mottled Qi.

Two strands of mottled aura were rapidly approaching the location where the three soldiers were killed.

His spiritual consciousness could barely see it.

The Mimic Blade Beast's body continued to fold, burrowing into a soldier's body. This soldier slowly stood up wrapped in a layer of light film, and the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Blade Beast almost disappeared.

At this moment, two figures darted out of the darkness. One person floated in mid-air and raised his right hand towards the Mimic Blade Beast.

The Mimic Blade Beast turned around and was about to escape, but a burly man with long hair all over his upper body pounced out from the left, and a bear paw slammed down fiercely, smashing the Mimic Blade Beast to the ground!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

A sharp whistling sound cut through the air, and several silver-white long nails shot out, piercing the Mimic Blade Beast's mouthparts, which came with a crystalline membrane, splashing green blood.

Woo woo—

The outer C area camp sounded a loud alarm!

Red warning lights flashed continuously!

Several areas simultaneously experienced gunfire. Thirty or so spirit energy users sent from the front lines were in groups of two, shuttling through the camp.

In the darkness, black shadows rapidly crawled out of various mine tunnels, pouncing towards the outer C area camp.

This was not the wave of Blade Beasts that had been monitored all along.

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly upon seeing this.

He put down his helmet, picked up the nano-mask from the box next to him and put it on. The mask automatically adjusted, temporarily restoring him to the appearance of 'Zhou Tiantian'.

Picking up the text exchange device, Wang Jixuan simply replied.

【Wang Zheng (Upright Person): It's too late to transfer. I'll leave the text exchange device here. You can call through my helmet.】

Getting crystal cores through official channels might attract the attention of the Thirteenth Institute.

Then this war with the Blade Beasts is the best opportunity for him to hoard supplies for himself.

The spiritual power of the Mimic Blade Beast is slightly stronger than that of ordinary Blade Beasts. Inside their bodies, there must be a crystal core with good texture.

The war has begun.

【Distance to Fortress Defense Battle: 1 hour 23 minutes.】
